Yeah he was complaining that users should be able to spoof their navigator user agent and then whinging about how that it is reducing “safety” for people on the “safest” setting, but totally misses the point. It’s mentioned under User Agent Spoofing Changes.
cringe "correctly fingerprinted as “Linux”. He further shows how little he knows by talking about extensions making you “stick out”, that requires JS, which you’ve disabled so no, not in that case.
Either way it’s really a nothing burger.
And it concludes with the even weaker argument “gIVe The uSeR tHe ChOiCe”, absolutely not, it’s up to the Tor Browser developers to make decisions about their browser and how all users will look, so they don’t stand out. If there was a shitload of windows and Linux users that data point would stick out a whole lot less.
He should really watch our video: What Is Browser Fingerprinting? (And How to Stop It!) so that he learns about entropy. It’s also very easy to convince a user they need JavaScript by simply making the content unavailable to them until they enable it, so yes, those users should be a priority.
